Product details
Overview
AP7387-30SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0V fixed-output, wide-input (5–60V), 150mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 700mV dropout at 100mA, 2μA quiescent current, and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz-designed for battery-powered smoke detectors and EV battery management systems where high input voltage tolerance and low standby power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AP7387-30SA-7 datasheet, AP7387-30SA-7 pinout, AP7387-30SA-7 application, or AP7387-30SA-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout behavior under 150mA load, thermal resistance (248.5°C/W in SOT23), output accuracy (±2%), transient response to rapid load steps, and compatibility with 10μF ceramic output capacitance.
Technical Context
The AP7387-30SA-7 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and current-limit circuit with thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection. Its architecture delivers fast line/load transient response due to optimized internal compensation and low-output-impedance regulation.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature with junction limit of +125°C, supports 1μF input and 10μF output ceramic capacitors (X7R/X5R), and maintains ±2% output accuracy over line, load, and temperature variations without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2% - ensures stable MCU core or sensor supply without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 60V - enables direct connection to automotive batteries, industrial 24/48V rails, or unregulated wall adapters. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, analog sensors, or RF modules in space-constrained designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 700mV @ 100mA (typ.) - allows regulation down to VIN = 3.7V while maintaining 3.0V output, extending battery runtime. |
| Quiescent Current | 2μA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on smoke detectors or remote sensors. |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy DC-DC converters or alternator sources feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +150°C with +30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.9mm × 1.3mm footprint, 0.95mm height, with exposed pad not present - thermal path relies on PCB copper area connected to GND via pins 1 (VIN), 2 (GND), and 3 (VOUT).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply pin; accepts 5–60V; requires 1μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane to ensure stability and thermal dissipation. |
| 3 | VOUT | Regulated 3.0V output; drives up to 150mA; requires 10μF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range (5–60V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation stages in 12/24/48V industrial or automotive subsystems. |
| Ultra-low IQ (2μA) | Extends shelf life and operational time in battery-backed safety devices such as smoke alarms. |
| High PSRR (70dB @ 1kHz) | Maintains clean 3.0V rail despite switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters or motor drivers. |
| Fast transient response | Minimizes output voltage deviation during sudden load changes (e.g., BLE radio transmit bursts in IoT sensors). |
| Integrated protections | Combines current limiting, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection - no external circuitry required for robustness. |
Applications
| Smoke Detector Power Supply | EV Battery Monitoring Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary 3.0V rail for CO/SMOKE sensor ICs and MCU in mains-powered + battery-backup residential smoke alarms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-IQ LDO providing always-on regulated supply during AC failure, enabling 10-year battery life in standby. Use Value: 2μA quiescent current and 60V input capability allow direct connection to 9V alkaline stack or 12V backup battery without additional conditioning. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Post-regulator after isolated DC-DC converter, delivering precise, ripple-free voltage to ADC references and CAN transceivers. Use Value: 70dB PSRR and ±2% accuracy ensure measurement integrity despite EMI from nearby inverters and contactors. |
| Microcontroller Core Supply | Home Appliance Sensor Hub |
Use Scenario: Dedicated 3.0V rail for ARM Cortex-M0+ or RISC-V MCU cores in industrial controllers requiring deterministic startup timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, fast-response LDO ensuring stable VDD during brown-in/out transitions and firmware wake-up events. Use Value: 700mV dropout at 100mA enables operation from partially discharged 3.7V Li-ion cells while maintaining full CPU performance. |
Use Scenario: Power source for multi-sensor fusion modules (temperature, humidity, motion) in smart washing machines and HVAC controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-point regulation for mixed-signal sensor front-ends and low-power wireless SoCs operating in thermally variable environments. Use Value: Thermal shutdown with +30°C hysteresis prevents latch-up during cabinet heating cycles, ensuring reliable long-term operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7361-30SA-7 | Lower max input (40V vs. 60V); same 3.0V output, 150mA, 2μA IQ, but higher dropout (850mV @ 100mA). | Limited to 24V/36V systems; unsuitable for 48V telecom or EV auxiliary rails. | Select only if input never exceeds 40V and board layout allows slightly larger dropout margin. |
| TPS7B8730QKVURQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100); 40V max input; 150mA; 17μA IQ (vs. 2μA); integrated enable and reset functions. | Requires external pull-up for EN; higher IQ reduces battery life in always-on applications. | Prefer when functional safety compliance (ISO 26262 ASIL-B) and diagnostic features are mandatory. |
Compared with AP7387-30SA-7, AP7361-30SA-7 trades input voltage headroom for identical package and IQ, while TPS7B8730QKVURQ1 adds automotive qualification and control logic at the cost of 8.5× higher quiescent current-making AP7387-30SA-7 optimal for cost-sensitive, ultra-low-power, wide-input industrial and consumer systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 3.0V output?
The AP7387-30SA-7 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. With typical dropout of 700mV at 100mA, minimum input is 3.7V. At 150mA, dropout rises to 1100mV, so VIN must be ≥ 4.1V to maintain regulation. Input below 5.0V is not recommended per absolute maximum ratings.
Can AP7387-30SA-7 operate without an output capacitor?
No. The device requires a minimum 10μF ceramic output capacitor (X7R/X5R) for stability and transient response. Omitting it causes oscillation, excessive overshoot/undershoot, and potential thermal shutdown. Placement within 2mm of VOUT and GND pins is mandatory per layout guidelines.
Is the SOT23 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. AP7387-30SA-7 uses matte tin-plated leads, is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), halogen- and antimony-free ("Green"), and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1-suitable for standard reflow profiles without baking.
Does AP7387-30SA-7 support adjustable output voltage?
No. It is a fixed 3.0V output device. The AP7387 family offers only factory-trimmed fixed outputs: 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, and 5.0V. No external resistor divider or feedback pin is provided; output voltage cannot be modified in-circuit.
